Addressing specific muscle pain sources.
What is Trigger Point Therapy?
Trigger point therapy is a specialised form of remedial massage that focuses on identifying and releasing hyperirritable spots within muscle tissue, known as trigger points. These points can cause localised pain or refer pain to other areas of the body, leading to discomfort and restricted movement. By applying isolated pressure and manipulation to these areas, trigger point therapy alleviates pain and restores normal muscle function.
